Turkish Airlines, the national flag carrier of Türkiye, has entered into a strategic codeshare partnership with South African regional airline Airlink, set to launch on 01 August 2025. This collaboration is poised to significantly enhance connectivity between Türkiye, South Africa and Southern Africa by combining Turkish Airlines’ global reach with Airlink’s expansive domestic and regional network.
The new codeshare agreement allows Turkish Airlines to place its "TK" flight code on a wide selection of Airlink-operated routes throughout South Africa and neighboring countries. Passengers flying with Turkish Airlines into Cape Town International Airport (CPT) in Cape Town and OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg will benefit from seamless onward connections to destinations such as Durban, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Windhoek (Namibia), Gaborone (Botswana), and more – all on a single ticket with simplified baggage transfers.
This partnership offers international and regional travellers greater flexibility, convenience, and travel options, while supporting tourism and business links between Türkiye, South Africa and Southern Africa. The integration of networks not only enhances the passenger experience but also strengthens the position of both airlines in their respective markets.
